NSA: Car failed to stop before police opened fire

Officers opened fire after two men dressed as women refused to stop a stolen vehicle Monday at the National Security Agency gate at Fort Meade and then smashed into a police vehicle blocking the road, officials said.

Officers open fire after two men dressed as women refuse to stop a stolen car at the National Security Agency gate at Fort Meade and then smashed into a police vehicle blocking the road, officials said.

The incident happened at the NSA entrance to Fort Meade. Officials close to the case told 11 News that the suspects were dressed as women and that there were plenty of chances for the incident to end nonviolently.

The FBI said the men were dressed as women but not in an attempt to disguise themselves from authorities.

The NSA released a statement Monday afternoon saying the driver of the sport utility vehicle, Hall, disobeyed instructions from an NSA police officer and failed to stop shortly before 9 a.m. Authorities deployed barriers at the gate as the SUV accelerated toward an NSA police vehicle blocking the road.

NSA police fired at the SUV, which crashed into the NSA police vehicle.

Hall was pronounced dead at the scene. A cause of death was not immediately determined. According to court records, Hall has a criminal history in Baltimore City. He was found guilty of robbery in August 2013.

The passenger in the SUV was taken to a hospital.

One NSA police officer was injured and was taken to a hospital. He has since been released.

The FBI, which is leading the investigation, released a statement Monday, saying: "FBI Baltimore is investigating a shooting incident which occurred this morning at a gate at the National Security Agency at Fort Meade just off (Route) 295 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The shooting scene is contained and we do not believe it is related to terrorism. We are investigating with NSA Police and other law enforcement agencies. Our Evidence Response Team is processing the crime scene, and FBI agents are doing joint interviews with witnesses. We are working with the US Attorney's Office in Maryland to determine if federal charges are warranted. We have no further information at this time to release."

Col. Brian Foley, Fort Meade garrison commander, also released a statement Monday, saying: "The incident has been contained and is under investigation. The residents, service members and civilian employees on the installation are safe. We continue to remain vigilant at all of our access control points."

On Tuesday, the FBI said investigators are conducting interviews, following leads and collecting evidence as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police: SUV stolen from Elkridge motel

NBC News reported that a search of the vehicle, a stolen Ford Escape registered in Maryland, turned up a gun and some drugs. Howard County police told 11 News on Monday that the vehicle was stolen Monday morning from a hotel off Route 1 in Jessup.

On Tuesday, Howard County police released more information about the SUV, saying it was reported stolen from the Terrace Motel in the 6200 block of Washington Boulevard in Elkridge around 8:30 a.m.

Howard County police said the SUV's owner, a 60-year-old Baltimore man, told police he had picked up two men who were dressed as women and had driven them to the motel, where he checked in around 7:30 a.m. After an hour, the men left the room and took the victim's SUV.

HE LIVES OR HIS NAME, BUT AS SOON AS WE GET THAT INFORMATION WE WILL UPDATE YOU. REPORTING LIVE FROM SKY TEAM 11, I'M CAPTAIN ROY TAYLOR. DONNA: THANK YOU, ROY. NOW TO THE LATEST ON THE NSA SHOOTING INVESTIGATION. WE NOW KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON KILLED AT A SECURITY GATE TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AT FORT MEADE. STAN: TWO DO PEOPLE WERE SHOT. 11 NEWS I-TEAM REPORTER BARRY SIMMS IS LIVE IN BALTIMORE'S CHARLES VILLAGE. BARRY, THIS IS WHERE THE MAN WHO WAS KILLED LIVED. IS THAT RIGHT? BARRY: THAT IS RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE RICKY HALL LIVED. HALL WAS TRANSGENDER. WE TALKED TO FRIENDS. TO DO PEOPLE WERE SHOT. ONE REMAINS IN THE HOSPITAL. THE OTHER WAS KILLED. BOTH MEN WERE DRESSED AS WOMEN, INVESTIGATORS SAY. PEOPLE IN THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY WHO KNEW RICKY HALL AS MAIA CAME TO THE BUILDING WHERE HE LIVED IN NORTH BALTIMORE. IT IS OVERWHELMING TO ME. IT IS AN EYE-OPENER FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYBODY. BEING IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT, NOT TO SAY ANYBODY COULD STEAL A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW ALL OF THE DETAILS, BUT WE COULD BE IN A BAD SITUATION OR NOT A GOOD HEADSPACE. I AM SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE LEFT THIS HOUSE NOT KNOWING THEY WOULD NOT COME HOME. BARRY: SHE KNEW HALL FOR EIGHT MONTHS. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON. HE WOULD BE TALKING OUT OF HIS HEAD. HE WOULD TRAVEL FROM THIS ABANDONED HOUSE TO A HIGH-RISE DOWN THE STREET AND BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH. BARRY: HALL IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL MONDAY MORNING. INVESTIGATORS DO NOT BELIEVE THE INCIDENT WAS RELATED TO TERRORISM. HOWARD COUNTY POLICE SAY THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN FROM THE 6200 BLOCK OF WASHINGTON BOULEVARD IN OAK RIDGE. HE PICKED UP TWO MEN DRESSED AS WOMEN AND DROVE THEM TO THE HOWARD COUNTY HOTEL. SHE SAW HALL ABOUT 24 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. IT IS TERRIBLE SHE LOST HER LIFE AND THE CUP SAID TO BE INVOLVED AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST ANOTHER TRAGEDY WE HEAR ABOUT AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE. BARRY: A STATE POLICE OFFICER WAS INJURED IN THE SITUATION AND TAKEN TO THE AREA HOSPITAL, TREATED, AND RELEASED.

Members of the transgender community who knew Hall as Mya went to what they call "The Bando" on Tuesday. It's an abandoned apartment building where Hall lived as a transgender person in the 2200 block of North Charles Street in Baltimore.

Jamia Leonard said she has known Hall for about eight months.

"It's overwhelming to me. It's an eye-opener, first of all, because that could have been anybody being in a situation like that, not to say that just anybody would steal a car, but we could be in a bad situation and not in a good head-space," Leonard said. "I'm sure that they didn't leave their house knowing that they wouldn't come home that day or that that would be the end."

Leonard said she saw Hall about 12 hours before the incident at the NSA.

"In the last couple of days, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know exactly what was going on but I could hear him talking out of his head. He would travel from this abandoned house to another high-rise right down the street back and forth, and back and forth," Leonard said. "It's terrible that she lost her life, it's terrible that the cops had to be involved. At the end of the day, this doesn't solve anything, it's just another tragedy and it's unfortunate."

Fort Meade community alarmed

Fort Meade is the headquarters for the NSA and other intelligence and cybersecurity agencies. The 8-square-mile campus is also home to 10,000 military personnel, some of their family members and civilians.

The attempted unauthorized intrusion of one of the NSA gates and subsequent shooting has many rattled.

"It's weird that you never know if it is going to be Joe Schmoe or if it is actually going to be somebody that's working there or just somebody that's angry at whatever the government is doing. That's the confusing thing," said Angie Pietrusza, of Anne Arundel County.

More than 8,000 contractors work on the post. They know firsthand how tight security is on a daily basis.

"We have to go through checkpoints all the time. We have a construction vehicle pass so we can go through most of the gates, but then if it is a commercial vehicle, we have to go through a checkpoint where they have dogs sniffing," said Tommy Benton, a contractor from North Carolina.

The high school on campus immediately put out an alert to faculty and staff that an incident had occurred. School was in session to make up for a snow day.

"It's a little scary, I think, that sometimes we forget that we are on a military base and there are outside threats," said Xiomara Patel, who works at Meade Senior High School.

Traffic was backed up for miles on nearby Route 295 as NSA police secured a perimeter around the scene.

A RANGE OF EMOTIONS OVER TRAFFIC CONGESTION. A DEADLY SHOOTING AT THE NSA HEADQUARTERS IN FORT MEADE. AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT SAID WHY TWO MEN TRIED TO ENTER THE CAMPUS WITHOUT PERMISSION. IT ENDED WITH ONE SUSPECT DEAD AND ANOTHER INJURED. GEORGE HAS MORE DETAILS. GEORGE: THE FBI IS LEADING THIS INVESTIGATION. IT PUBLICLY STILL HAS A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY THE DRIVER OF THE DARK-COLORED SUV AT THE CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN DROVE UP TO THE HEAVILY GUARDED GATE TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AND DISOBEYED COMMANDS FROM POLICE OFFICERS WHO TRIED TO DIRECT THE SUV TO LEAVE. THAT IS WHEN OFFICIALS SAY THE SUV KEPT ACCELERATING, BLOCKING THE ROAD, AND THAT IS WHEN OFFICERS OPENED FIRE. AT SOME POINT THE SUV AND THE POLICE VEHICLE COLLIDED. SOURCES SAY THE MEN INSIDE WERE DRESSED AS WOMEN WITH WIGS ON. COCAINE AND A HANDGUN WERE FOUND. THIS MAN WAS IN THE AREA AT THE TIME AND WITNESSED SOMETHING ODD RIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT. HE PULLS OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOME GUY COMES OUT OF THE BUSHES. IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD A SKIRT ON. THE MEN IN THE SUV WERE SCREAMING LOUD AS THEY SPED TO THE SECURITY GATE. AUTHORITIES SAY ONE OF THE MEN DIED DURING THE ALTERCATION. THE OTHER WAS INJURED AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. POLICE CONFIRMED THE SUV WAS STOLEN SOMETIME MONDAY MORNING FROM ONE OF THE HOTELS. THE FBI DOES NOT THINK THIS IS RELATED TO TERRORISM. SO FAR THE IDENTITIES OF THE MEN AND THE SUV AND THE POLICE OFFICER HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED. THANK YOU. FORT MEADE IS THE HOME OF THE NSA, BUT OTHER AGENCIES ARE ALSO BASED THERE. IT SITS ON AN EIGHT SQUARE MILE CAMPUS AND HOUSES 10,000 PERSONNEL AND CIVILIANS.

In a message sent to the hospital community, officials said there was an incident shortly after 12:30 p.m. in the hospital's emergency department involving a patient and a family member. The message indicated that the family member became angry and made a violent threat of harm to the hospital, which prompted the alert status.

Employees are asked to show their identification upon entering. Police or security officers are stationed at all entrances, or those entrances may be locked.

Authorities said they are searching for a man who is about 50 to 60 years old, of medium height and physically fit. He was last seen wearing jeans, a sweater and a blue plaid flannel shirt. He has short gray hair and a well-trimmed short gray beard.

Anyone with information about the man is asked to call hospital security at 443-481-6999.

Officials propose no parking on Aliceanna Street during rush hour

Officials with the Baltimore City Department of Transportation have proposed a plan to ease what can be terrible congestion during rush hour in southeast Baltimore, but the plan is drawing criticism from those who live and work there.

Currently, there is only one lane of traffic open to drivers along Aliceanna Street. People use the right lane to park. Many of them live nearby.

Under the proposal, vehicles won't be allowed to park on a portion of the road during rush hour, which is upsetting to many in the area.

It was a packed room inside the Admiral Inn in Fells Point. Residents came to share their frustration with leaders from the city department of transportation about a proposal that would eliminate some parking along a portion of Aliceanna Street from Washington to Chester streets.

"Regardless of what proposal being the final proposal, is that dead in the water are any plans that take away any parking from the neighborhood and any plan that creates a highway through the neighborhood," said Joanne Masopust, with the Fells Point Community Organization.

Masopust said it would be detrimental to residents and business owners because they'd have to find other areas to park.

According to transportation officials, the proposal is just a proposal.

"We just want the residents to know that there are no plans that will be implemented without their feedback. We're going to make them aware of any plans that we've made a decision on before we move forward," said Adrienne Barnes with the Baltimore City Department of Transportation.

But residents like Sarah Walker said the proposal would be bad for bicyclists.

"Cars simply don't give enough room for bicyclists as it is. Now with them planning on making Aliceanna two lanes going out, I don't see how the bike lane can exist on Aliceanna Street at all," Walker said.

Other parts of the proposal include a double right lane added on eastbound Aliceanna Street at Boston Street. The existing left lane on westbound Aliceanna Street near Boston Street would be removed.

"It's a historic village. You lose the feeling of it when it feels like it's Route 40 coming through here," said David Johnson, with the Fells Point Resident Association.

Transportation leaders said they will review feedback on the proposal through the end of April. Officials will hold a follow-up meeting to discuss their findings in June.

DONNA: OFFICIALS WITH THE BALTIMORE CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROPOSED A PLAN TO EASE WHAT CAN BE TERRIBLE CONGESTION DURING RUSH-HOUR IN SOUTHEAST BALTIMORE, BUT THE PLAN IS DRAWING CRITICISM FOR THOSE WHO LIVE AND WORK THERE. KAREN CAMPBELL IS LIVE WITH MORE. KAREN: THERE IS A LOT OF ANGER AMONG MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. THAT IS BECAUSE UNDER THE PROPOSAL, PART OF THE PARKING COULD BE TAKEN AWAY DURING RUSH-HOUR. IT WAS A PACKED ROOM . RESIDENTS COMING TO SHARE THEIR FRUSTRATION WITH LEADERS ABOUT A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD ELIMINATE SOME PARKING . FROM WASHINGTON TO CHESTER STREET. DEAD IN THE WATER ARE ANY PLANS THAT TAKE AWAY ANY PARKING FROM ANY PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND ANY PLAN THAT ESSENTIALLY CREATES A HIGHWAY THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. KAREN: SOMETHING THE PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANIZATION SAYS WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO PARK. ACCORDING TO TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS, THE PROPOSAL IS JUST THAT. A PROPOSAL. WE WANT THEM TO BE AWARE THERE ARE NO PLANS IMPLEMENT IT WITHOUT THEIR FEEDBACK. WE WANT TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF ANY DECISION MOVING FORWARD. KAREN : DRIVER SIMPLY DO NOT GIVE ROOM FOR BICYCLES AS IT IS. I DON'T SEE HOW THE BICYCLES CAN EXIST AT ALL. OTHER PARTS OF THE PROPOSAL INCLUDE A DOUBLE RIGHT LANE ADDED. ALSO, THE EXISTING LEFT LANE WOULD BE REMOVED. IT IS A HISTORIC VILLAGE. YOU LOSE THE FEELING OF IT WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ROUTE 40 COMING THROUGH. KAREN: THEY WILL REVIEW THROUGH THE END OF APRIL AND ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD A FOLLOW UP

Wossen Assaye was being watched by two private security guards at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia, when he managed to grab the gun of one of the guards. A shot went off in the struggle, and Assaye escaped in a hospital gown, Fairfax County police said.

He was seen chasing people in the hospital, according to a law enforcement official.

After the hospital went on lockdown, police announced that Assaye stole a vehicle, abandoned it as authorities searched for it, and then stole another.

At some point, he apparently managed to get some clothes. Police said he may have been wearing a dark colored jacket and blue jeans.

Assaye has a girlfriend and family in the area. While the search was on, authorities said they were looking into whether he was with them.

Why private guards?

It was not immediately clear why Assaye was being watched by private guards at the hospital, rather than by police.

"This will be looked into," Fairfax County police tweeted.

'Bicycle bandit'

Assaye was being held on federal charges of armed bank robbery. He was taken to the hospital for treatment after attempting to harm himself, police said. A private security company was hired to guard him.

He was arrested last week and charged with multiple robberies in the Northern Virginia area.

He'd been called the "bicycle bandit" for the manner in which he allegedly made his escape after robberies.

The first happened around 6:25 p.m. Officers were called to the rear of a vacant home in the 2800 block of West North Avenue in West Baltimore. Officers found a man with a gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.

Police identified the man Tuesday as Kemmontay Mitchell, 27.

About 15 minutes later, officers investigated a shooting in the 1800 block of East Federal Street in East Baltimore. They found a man with a gunshot wound to his leg. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Police identified the man Tuesday as Jeremy Ward, 26.

Detectives from the Eastern District are investigating this incident.

Homicide detectives are asking anyone with information about the shootings to call police at 410-396-2100.

Police said the warrant was a result of undercover investigation into narcotic violations happening in and around the home. During the bust, detectives seized 14.06 grams of suspected cocaine with a street value of $1,406, 5.16 grams of suspected heroin with a street value of $516, controlled dangerous substance distribution paraphernalia (digital scale, packaging materials), a look-a-like pellet handgun and $4,148 in cash.

Police said Kevin Carter Alston, 44, was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession cocaine, possession heroin and possession of paraphernalia.

Police said Dwayne Thomas Grimes, 38, was arrested on an open warrant.
